F.E.A.R.

Thing about an apocolypse or zombie flick is the 'logic' behind the actions.

In end-of-times waiting for a cure... these parents want us to believe: a) zombified daughter is savable so they steal or waste gas and still have electricity to keep a 19yr old alive with no food or water or other supplies?

B) these parents waste bullets shooting into walls next to intruders who tell the parents they intend to kill them and steal all their stuff

c) the father tells his wife to go w/o him, during an end of times where he's the only adult male, but she must drive with her daughter the sometimes zombie and 10yr old son, cause what?

An adult woman a zombie a boy child

are safe out there without his stupid butt?

D) they have these long drawn out dialogues with intruders who state they came to kill them, and leave the intruder with a lighter... as they turn their back on 2 intruders - w/woman and b/man... to talk at them about WHAT exactly?

So when the 2 attack we supposed to NOT see that coming?

Everything about this film is a waste of build up. NONE of it makes sense.

Especially when the 'lighter' lady intruder is holding the half-zombie daughter hostage and mom puts down her gun and shoots not at the woman but the zombie?

It is just NON STOP NONESENSE.

Okay, director did good with cinamatography, scoiting the location, ipcking the "lighter woman" - she was the only good actress.

The premise, the script, the choices, the lighting, the suspense, the dialogue, the child actor... ALL TRASH.

A SERIOUS WASTE OF 1HR 30MIN.

But if you keep it running in the background while working or doing dishes, then perhaps.... just don't ever give it your full attention cause the Director nor the Actors did as much for us.

The "film director" with one review thinks throwing words like "metaphor" can save this movie - No, sorry Jim, not convinced!

Movie started off quite well with a promising albeit worn; but not quite dead yet it seems, hoary old chestnut of a theme, no zombies either folks , more 28 days later fast moving, rabid, brainless cannibals - Still we like, even if the makeup was slightly pants, it was not bad enough to be funny like some cinematic apocalypse turkeys and held an element of fear to it and thus overcoming the major stumbling block most movies of the "infected" genre seem to have which kills any of this type of film from the start!

I go into a movie not looking for mistakes and basing my review on many things like the budget, acting, photography and so should the other reviewers when attempting to critique fairly. This is no Walking Dead or Day Of The Dead level of budget and who bothers about how good a shot someone is? Ever fired a gun? Not as easy as it looks in the movies let me tell you even at point blank range! Its fiction not reality but so many reviewers seem to forget this. Moviemaking is meant to transport you to another realm of enjoyment, not sit criticising how accurate period details are or if the guns are authentic or not - who cares - does it entertain that is what i look for?

Acting was decent for the main part with the exception of the black guy and the kid who looks from the off with his pink lipstick lips, girlie eyelashes and squeaky voice like a little girl and with zero acting ability it did spoil things unfortunately. The rest of the cast can actually perform with the standout performance being from Susan Moore Harmon who stole the show as the female badass but sadly this is where my enjoyment ended and as another reviewer pointed out it was basically an hour of the actors "contemplating their navels" as the old saying goes with not much action or story and sadly adds nothing more to the genre!

Still, it is a lot better than a large tranche of the current apocalypse/zombie fare doing the rounds over the last few years. View it more as a Sci-fi channel Sunday afternoon movie and you should be good to go!

I give it a fair 4 out of 10 hatchets on the horror scale, almost gets an extra star for the innovative title but not quite!

This was one of those movies that relied on the acting alone and for this fact it was good. Believable acting and I kept hoping their love would overcome what they were going through. It was MORE about the ppl in it then the zombies! If you can get around this fat the movie held it own very well. The one crazy old chick was believable and so was the whole movie. I kept wanting to change it of or see the end fast but found myself not wanting to miss anything. That says a lot to me. I recommend if you like end of the world virus stories with really good acting!

The premise behind this film was good and slightly different take on an end of the world scenario but very slow with very little action. Story flicks between timelines to give backstory which is not too bad but doesn't fully explain what happened so left guessing.

Once again, after sifting through the bogus reviews that rate this a TEN I found myself asking "What do these people watch?" It's certainly not the movie they're reviewing.

This is not Gone with the Wind, or Citizen Kane, but it is watchable. It's your basic Zombie format that hasn't changed much since Night of the Living Dead. It differs only in the character build up. You want this family to survive. Points for that.

Watch it when you're in the mood for a Zombie movie, and you'll get more out of it. Otherwise you'll be disappointed.
